That would have been a money and time issue. I've thought about trying something like that, but since I haven't used vmware server like that (not to mention I'd have to buy it) and I had a time pressure, I went with the easy way. Maybe next time I'll plan to do something like that and see how it works. If it goes good, it may be a good meeting topic.
